Come January 16th, You’ll See What I Call A Ballot-based People’s Revolution In This Country-Tanko

According to Symfoni Tv on Thursday November 12 2026, Yunusa Tanko, former spokesperson of the Obidient Movement and now a chieftain of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, has declared that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, is its own greatest enemy.

Tanko said the APC government has continued to narrow down the public space, reduce the freedom to disseminate information, and strangle constitutional freedoms that allow Nigerians to sell their thoughts and opinions.

He said, “Let me say clearly that the APC is its own greatest enemy. When you narrow down the public space, when you reduce the freedom to disseminate information, when you stop the people and strangle constitutional freedoms that allow us to sell our thoughts and opinions, the people will get angrier.”

Tanko said if the APC government had performed well, it would not be scared of opposition voices, but its fear shows that it knows Nigerians are unhappy with it.

He said despite controlling 32 governors, the party is still narrowing down the democratic space, which proves that it does not trust its own record.

He said, “With 32 governors, they are still narrowing down the democratic space. That tells you that they know that it will almost be impossible to win a fair, free, credible election. That tells you that they know Nigerians are unhappy with them.”

Tanko said the people are getting ready for a ballot-based revolution, and what precedes that revolution is information, which the government is trying to block.

He said the progressive left has a strategy called guerrilla campaign strategy, which will be used to reach Nigerians in every nook and cranny of the country.

He said, “But there is something we call in the progressive left, guerrilla campaign strategy. You will see it at work. We are going to go through the nooks and crannies of this country. We are going to meet Nigerians. We are going to talk to Nigerians.”

Tanko said the SDP and its allies will not be stopped by intimidation, and they will continue to preach the message of redemption and change across the 774 local governments.

He said Nigerians desire a nation that works, and that desire will become a reality if the people stand together and vote for change.

He said, “And come January 16th, you will see what I call a ballot-based people’s revolution in this country. We will tumble them down. I believe and I know so.”

He concluded that no amount of suppression can stop a people who have decided to take back their country through the ballot, and the APC will soon face the judgment of the people.
